A Devon mother is appealing for her vulnerable son to contact his family after he walked out of their home last week without his medication and travelled 70 miles away.

Patricia Williams is concerned for the welfare of her son, Jordan Williams, who suffers from mental and medical health problems and, at age 25, is not deemed high risk or even missing by police.

Mrs Williams, from Braunton, believes Jordan is in the Plymouth area, but can no longer contact him as he has changed his mobile phone number. His parents and four younger siblings are “heartbroken” by his actions, which Mrs Williams has said would be affected by his inability to make his own decisions.

She said: “He walked out of the house last Wednesday (August 23), said goodbye to his siblings, and then we heard nothing after that. On the Thursday we were supposed to go to Exeter to get his medication reinstated, he was begging us to get it sorted, but then he left the day before, knowing full well we had this appointment booked.

“The police found him on the Friday but they let him go and wouldn’t tell us where he was. They won’t do any more because of his age. We know he’s not mentally stable but he has tricked the police into thinking he is staying with family in Plymouth, but we don’t have any family living in that area.

“His number has changed and our messages are bouncing back, we are begging him to come home. We’re worried someone may be taking advantage of him. It’s so hard without him, everyone is so upset. It has been over a week now and we just want to hear from him.”

Jordan’s dad Steve Abbott lives in Bedford, and is also incredibly concerned about his son’s welfare and whereabouts. The police informed his family he was safe, but they are concerned about his mental health.

Mrs Williams added a message for her son: “Jordan, please call me or your dad so we can help you. We all love you very much and are so worried about you. You don’t have to come home, just let us know you are okay.”
